questions & answers
Is it really free?
Yes. Every day, the audio, the writing practice and the two practice exams are free, with no sign-up and no ads.
How long does it take?
70 days of about 20 minutes: six Hangul days, 53 days of new words and grammar, nine review missions and two practice exams. The days stay open, so go at your own speed.
Does it match the TOPIK I exam?
It follows level 1. TOPIK I is one test for levels 1 and 2: listening (30 questions) and reading (40 questions), 200 points, level 1 from 80 points and level 2 from 140. Our list is level 1 of the National Institute of Korean Language’s standard curriculum (735 words, 45 grammar points), the reference list for Korean courses; TOPIK 2 continues it. This is not official TOPIK material: check topik.go.kr for the current format before you book.
Do I need to know Hangul first?
No. Days 1 to 6 teach it from scratch: vowels, consonants, how letters stack into a syllable block, and final consonants. Each of those days uses only the letters you have met, and every day has a writing studio to trace letters and syllables.
What is the romanisation under the words?
A reading help in the Revised Romanization of Korean, the official system in Korea. It follows how a word sounds, so 한국어 shows as hangugeo. Switch it off once you read Hangul: the exam has none.
Which Korean do you teach?
Standard Seoul Korean. You start with the polite 해요 style that people use every day, and meet the formal 합니다 style for introductions, announcements and the exam.
